II is probable that the resources of
the Hawaiian Kingdom have been
largely underestimated. Its product
of sugar has increased during the past
six or seven years until it now amounts
TO 20O,000,000 pounds, and it is claim
ed tn Vt the islands will yield double
the amount of sugar per acre that the
West India islands will and three times
that yielded per acre in Louisiana. The
success of the recent Hawaiian loan IN
London, when twenty-five times the
amount of the loan was bid, would
seem to show that financial centres
have faith in the resources of .he is
lands. 1t is not probable, however,
that they will be developed under the
present King, whose listless nature is
inadequate to using the natural wealth
of his own little kingdom to advantage
although he feeds his imagination with
the dream of great Oceanic empire
comprising all the islands of the Malay
sian group, and of which he is to be
monarch. The chief concern the pres.
ent state of things at the Sandwich
Islands has to Americans is the posi-
bilty chat during the agitation they
may pass under the control of some
European power. The American Gov
ernment should not leave the semblance
of doubt that this contingency has
been effectively guarded against
Press.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1887-07-08
Sandwich Island Affairs.

Reports Of an impending revolt in
the Sandwich Islands against the Gov
ernment of King Kalakaua are tele-
graphed from San Francisco. 1t Is
probable that they have more sub
stantial basis than mere rumor, and
that change in the governmental af.
fairs of those islands may be near al
hand. 1t is certain that there is much
dissatisfaction with the extravaganza
and corruptions which mark Kalakau's
rule, and that there have been myster-
ious shipments of arms from California
to Hawaii. The Rev. J. w. Alexan-
der, long a resident of the islands, and
the son of one of the original mission
aries, recently arrived in San Francisco
and stated that everything betokened a
great political upheaval, the dethrone-
ment of Kalakaua and the occupation
of the throne by woman.
The maintenance of the rule of the
natives in these islands so long has
been a source of wonder to most people
They comprise only $4,000 souls, and
are far outnumbered by the American,
German, Chinese and Portuguese i'm
migrants, who have hocked to the is.
lands in great numbers during the few
years past. These foreigners own near
ly all the property in the kingdom,
and transact nearly all the business, and
consequently are the chief sufferers
from Kalakau's obnoxious tax gather
ers. The natives are a sblftless, ener-
waited race that would have long since
died out or relapsed into barbarism
had it not been for the presence of
more energetic and progressive races.
The greater part of the royal revenues
come from the sugar trade, which has
returned nearly S2,000,000 year since
this country has admitted free of duty
the sugars produced in Hawaii.
The occasion for the present agita
tion is said TO have been the perpetra-
tion on the part Of the King of a bit
of sharp practice or diplomacy to re-
plenish his empty pocketbook. Tong
Kee, Chinese rice grower and fnan-
cier, wished to obtain monopoly Of
SuO bplN'u lldhN VI Int iHluhuS, anu
openly offered KaIakaua $4,000 for
the right. The King accepted the
offer, sagely demanding cash, and re-
fusing checks, used the money, and
then gravely informed Mr.. Kee that
his Cabinet would not consent To the
sale or the privilege, A few days
after wards, however, the monopoly
was awarded to another gentleman,
who is said to have paid $4,000 for
it, Tong Kee was naturally enraged,
and he has been stirring up the dis
oontented classes to revolt against a
king who is SO corrupt and who has
so little regard for his word. With
the foreign residents we'll armed and
little feeling of loyalty among the
native population few daring spirits
could easily preciptate a revolution.

BIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BIOOMsBURG COLUMBIA COUNTY. Pa

"If Sharp had guilty knowledge of
the scheme and assisted or abbetted in
any way he is guilty of the crime
charged. The defendant asked for a
trial separately, and if tho jury finds
that he is connected with the bribery
by either of the ways specified they
must find him guilty Of the crime
charged"
Justice Barrett believed that it had
been clearly shown that Fullgraff was
bribed. "Who bribed hint If the
jury believed that DeLacy bribed him
with $4,000, then, of course, the jury
must ask Immediately who bribed De
Lacy, for no one can suppose that De.
Lacy bribcd him on his own account
for he derived no benefit from the pass
age of the franchise. Auy person who
was behind DeLacy, who aided or
ab5etted in bribing Fullgraff, was as
guilty as De Lacy.
"If you find that Fullgraff was bribed
and that S5O0,OOO was raised by Kerr
and Foshay, and you come to the con-
clusion that that sum was not raised for
the purposes which appear on the books
of the road and that that sum really
went to the corruption of the Board of
Aldermau--if you find this to be so
and you have abundant direct and cir
cumstantial evidence on that point, and
your believe that Kerr and Foshay did
this and concealed it from Mr.. Sharp
If you find they did this because of
their own interest and Notwithstanding
the few greater benefits which Mr..
Sharp was to reap from it, and Mr..
Sharp was ignorant, then you must
acquit him. You are the exclusive
judges of the evidence and if my state
ment Of the evidence has seemed to
impart my opinions on it to you trust
you will discard and disregard it.
This is a case of the utmost impor-
tance to the people, and indeed mat
ter of life and death to the defendant.
l am not conscious of having ruled out
a particle of evidence to which the de.
fendant was entitled You will not be
influenced by public clamor. The de-
fendant is an old, feeble, infrm man,
as has been said by his counsel. You
will however, not permit that to waive
you in the discharge of your duty. 1t
is harder for old age to suffer, yet we
ali know that our greatest sufferings
are frequently at the end of our lives.
1t must be So 1t is the rule of the In
finite. And 80 now all sentiment,
passion and sympathy should be cast
outside the temple of justice. Here
only reason should rule"

Jacob Sharp Convicted,

Jacob Shart was convicted in New
YORK on Wednesday June 20, of be-
ing a bribs giver There was very
little doubt as to what the verdict of
the jury would be, but all were sur
prsed at the short time it took them to
arrive at a verdict 1t took them only
thirteen minutes.
When they filed into their seats they
were asked if they had agreed upon a
verdict.
ave have" was the answer.
"Guilty or not guilty?'
"Not guilty. mean guilty, your
Honor
"Jacob Sharp how old are you7'
"Seventy years next month.
"Where do you live p
1884 West Twenty-third."
The jurors here consulted for mo.
ment and recommended the prisoner to
mercy.
Immediately after the verdict had
been rendered the court adjourned un-
til July l3, when a new trial will be
moved Tor.
Part of the ldges charge to the jury
was as follows; st is not necessary
that the person charged gave the money
with his own hand or made the cor
rupt agreement in person or in other
words, made the agreement in accord
ance with the laws of contract, But ii
there was an understanding that one
was TO give and the other was TO re,
Geive the brihc, then the guilt is estab-
lished. DeLacy is the fountain head,
aud all who are proven to be connect
ed near to or far away from the fount-
ain head are guilty, If DeLacy re-
ceived the money from Richmond and
Richmond again from Sharp, then
Sharp is guilty.

The Death of James Speed.
ONLY THREE SURVIVING MEMBERS NOW
LEFT OF LINCoLN's TWO CABINETS.

LEFT OF LINcoLN's TWO CABINETS.
Ex-Attorney-General James Speed
whose serious illness was announced
several weeks ago. died at his home in
Louisville June 25. For a year past
he had suffered much from general
debility.
Mr.. Speed was born on March H.,
1912, in Jefferson County, Ky, and
was graduated at St. Joseph's College
He studied law in the Pennsylvania
University, was admitted TO the Bar
and began the practice of his profess
ion in Louisville. He was elected a
member of the Legislature of Kentucky
in l847, and State Senator in 1861.
In November, 1864, President Lincoln
appointed him Attorney General of the
United States. Mr.. Speed remained in
the Cabinet until July, 1866, when he
resigned the Attorney Generalship and
resumed the practice of law, He was
President of the Loyallsts' Convention
in Philadelphia in 1856.
Mr., Speed had always been a strong
Republican partisan until, in 1884, he
repudated the nomination OF James q
Blaine and, it is understood, supported
although not actively, Mr.. Cleveland,
Mr., Speeds death leaves but three sur
viving members of the many who
served in President Lincoln's two
Cabinets--Hugh McCulloch, Simon
Cameron and John p. Usher. Mr..
Speeds brother, Joshua, once Post
master of Louisville, married the
niece of John Keats, the poet.

The Presidents Letter.
The following letter from President
Cleveland was read at the Gettysburg
reunion
"ExECUTivE MANSION,

reunion
"ExEouTlvE MANSION,
"WAsHINGToN, June "a, 1887.
81 have received your invitation to
attend, as guest of the Philadelphia
Brigade, reunion of ex-Confederate
soldiers of Pickett's Division, who sur
vived their terrible charge at Gettys,
burg, and those of the Union army
still living, by whom it was heroically
resisted.
"The fraternal meeting of these
soldiers upon the battlefield where
twenty-four years ago in deadly fray
they fiercely sought each others lives,
where they saw their comrades fall
and where all their thoughts were of
vengence and destruction, will illus
trate the general impulse of brave men
and their honest desire for peace and
reconciliation
"The friendly assault there to be
made will be resstless, because inspired
by American chivalry; and its result
will be glorious, because conquered
hearts will be its trophies of success.
Thereafter this battlefield will be con-
secrated by victory which shall
presage the end of the bitterness of
strife, the exposure of the sincerity
which conceals hatred by professions
of kindness, the condemnation of
frenzied appeals to passion for un-
worthy purposes and the beating down
of all that stands IN the way of the
destiny of our united country.
"While those who fought and who
have so much to forgive lead in the
pleasant ways of peace, how wicked
appears the traffic in sectional hate and
the betrayal of patriotic sentiment.
at surely cannot be wrong to desire
the settled quiet which lights for our
entire country the path to prosperity
and greatness nor need the lessons of
the war be forgotten and its results
jeopardized in the wish for that genu-
inc fraternity which insures national
pride and glory.
81 should be very glad to accept
your invitation and be with you at this
interesting reunion, but other arrange
ments already made and my official
duties here will prevent my doing so.
"Hoping that the occasion will be
as successful and useful as its promoters
can desire, l am yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
